The Lines Were Gone (Joe x reader X Cherry)

Home

You and Joe got on the plane. You had business class tickets.

"Geez, this is so gorgeous." Joe laughed. "Business class really is something else, there's even a bed and TV."

"I always take business class, so I can sleep, I get really sick on planes." You yawned. "Feel free to watch something or sleep too."

You laid down and snuggled into the blankets. You felt joe lay with you under the blanket. You moved closer laying your head on his chest. You let yourself fell asleep as he brushed one hand through your hair and the other one scrolled through the movies.

Your dream took place in a forest. It was almost like the air was green from how dark and green the trees were. It was gorgeous and peaceful. You were dressed in a pretty red sundress, that was really bright and accented by the trees. You could see your entire self, you must've been someone else in this dream. You looked down, seeing a familiar white button down shirt. You were joe. You watched yourself calmly. Joe, whom you watched from, was sitting on a rock a ways away from you. From Joe's perspective you were freaking out, your arms were wrapped around yourself as you sat on the ground and cried into your arms, your legs were scratched up from the forest floor, and your hands were bloodied from tearing at the trees.

Joe got up and walked over to the collapsed you, you could see your saddened and frightened face close up, from Joe's perspective. Joe felt sad, until you got up and hugged him, your blood got on the white button down, but his head went over yours and his arms comforted you tightly. He welcomed you into his arms even though it's dirty his clean pressed shirt. His mood cheered up, he seemed calm, and happy now. Your hair smelled nice, like coconut, it made the smell of tall pine trees fade into a mere memory.

You heard a sigh. "I'm sorry Joe.." a soft scared voice said. That was your voice. You blinked, you acted as though you had never heard your own voice before. Perhaps you just didn't hear yourself the way that Joe did.

"It's fine love... As long as you're alright, that's all that matters." Joe said relaxed and happy.

You woke up to Joe coming back into the small secluded business seats. "Oh sorry, did I wake you?" He asked quietly as he dot down next to you. "I got you some food and a water, in case you're still nauseous, we're landing now."

You didn't even realize how distracted you were by him. It felt like it had been a year or so since you saw him, you couldn't stop taking in his features. His awkwardly happy smile, his eyes which looked at the tray as he placed it down, his slightly scattered freckles that nearly blended in with his skin tone. His messy hair, you could tell he had napped too, he had dried drool on his chin, his clothes weren't pressed and neat as they would have been had he not napped.

"Are you okay?" Joe asked. You snapped back into reality and smiled.

"Yeah, thank you." You picked up the water drinking some of it. Joe got your stuff back packed up and down ready for landing. Once you landed, you guys were the first off. You called your brother a smile crowding your sleepy face. "Hey, I just landed, I should be there in about Thirty, I have a surprise." You intertwined your empty hand with Joe's.

You hadn't let his hand go, even in the rental car. You stood at the front of your home, but your hand couldn't leave Joe's, you squeezed his hand comfortably.
